This often requires disclosing and sharing personal information via tools such as instant messaging systems and can conflict with the users' wishes for privacy. In this paper we present an initial study investigating this trade-off and discuss implications for the design of instant messaging systems. We present the functionality and design of the PRIMIFaces instant messaging prototype supporting flexible identity management and selective information disclosure.}, subject = {Angewandte Informatik}, language = {en} } @techreport{GrossFetterSeifert2007, author = {Gross, Tom and Fetter, Mirko and Seifert, Julian}, title = {CoDaMine: Supporting Privacy and Trust Management in Ubiquitous Environments Through Communication Data Mining}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.815}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-8154}, year = {2007}, abstract = {In ubiquitous environments an increasing number of sensors capture information on users and at the same time an increasing number of actuators are available to present information to users. This vast capturing of information potentially enables the system to adapt to the users. At the same time the system might violate the users' privacy by capturing information that the users do not want to share, and the system might disrupt the users by being too obtrusive in its adaptation or information supply. In this paper we present CoDaMine - a novel approach for providing users with system - generated feedback and control in ubiquitous environments giving them the freedom they need while reducing their effort. Basically, CoDaMine captures and analyses the users' online communication to learn about their social relationships in order to provide them with recommendations for inter-personal privacy and trust management.}, subject = {Angewandte Informatik}, language = {en} } @techreport{GrossOemig2006, author = {Gross, Tom and Oemig, Christoph}, title = {'Sorry, Pal---What I See is Usually Not What You Get!': The Role of Reciprocity in Information Disclosure}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.747}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-7474}, year = {2006}, abstract = {For efficient distant cooperation the members of workgroups need information about each other. This need for information disclosure often conflicts with the users' wishes for privacy. In the literature often reciprocity is suggested as a solution to this trade-off. Yet, this conception of reciprocity and its enforcement by systems does not match reality. In this paper we present our study's major findings investigating the role of reciprocity among which we found that participants greatly disregarded the above conception.
